Read this statement and answer the question that follows.
"If I get a barrel of oil out of Buffalo," an
independent dealer told the writer not long ago, "I
have to sneak it out. There are no public docks;
the railroads control most of them, and they won't
let me out if they can help it. If I want to ship a
car load they won't take it if they can help it. They
are all afraid of offending the Standard Oil
Company."
- Ida Tarbell,
The History of the Standard Oil Company
According to this quotation, what is unfair about
Standard Oil's practices?
Standard Oil forces independent dealers to
ship by the barrel instead of by the carload.
Standard Oil controls the docks and railroads
so independent dealers cannot ship oil.
Standard Oil controls the way independent
dealers process oil using public docks.
